Love Patti!
The thing with Rent and Spring Awakening is that many people feel that they can "relate" to the show. The music is the big part of it because a majority of people are turned away from musical theatre because of the classical/operatic feeling of it, but Rent and SA both have that rock edge that draws people to it. I guess they figure they won't be bored during these as compared to a great show like Company.

Posted: 6/10/07 at 9:35pmI guess I'm in the minority here -- I thought MLW's speech was really rude... and the back-tracking acknowledgement of the others in her character seemed very insincere. I don't begrudge her the win, but I found her completely ungracious.

Damn right, Testing!
This feels like the longest telecast EVER. I can't believe there's another hour and a half. And yet, I can't turn it off.

She probably knew that Grey Gardens wasn't going to get much acceptance speech time, so she tried to make it as memorable and self-indulgent as possible to make up for all the Grey Gardens snubs.

Posted: 6/10/07 at 9:38pmWow. I forgot how gripping Esparza's performance was...is. I got chills during that.

Posted: 6/10/07 at 9:38pmWow, Raul's performance was one of the most powerful I have ever seen performed on the Tony Awards.

That was amazing. But why did they hide the fact that it was an actor-musician show? I was looking forward to see the whole cast/orchestra playing with him. His playing wasn't in sync with the track.
